Russian missile strike on Chernihiv: Ukraine's foreign minister calls for additional air defence systems for Ukraine

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said that "innocent people would not have been killed" if Ukraine had sufficient defence capabilities, and called on partners to provide additional air defence systems to our country, following the Russian attack on the centre of Chernihiv on Wednesday, 17 April. Source: Kuleba on X, European Pravda reports Quote from Kuleba: "These innocent people would not have been killed or injured if Ukraine had sufficient air defence capabilities.

Three days ago in the Middle East, we saw what reliable protection of human lives from missiles looks like. Ukraine's partners have the necessary means to help us save Ukrainian lives with the same level of efficiency."

Details: Ukraine's foreign minister stressed that at least 11 people have been killed and at least 22 wounded in the centre of Chernihiv since Russian terrorists attacked the city, and that the number could rise. He also thanked Germany for having already made an important decision to provide Ukraine with an additional Patriot battery.

"Building on President Zelensky's recent contacts, I will urge other partners to follow suit during my meetings with G7 allies in Italy this week," Ukraine's foreign minister added.  Background: Previously:
